Neither more nor less

For as long as we can remember they have been with us on avenue A . They have often gathered at Ray's to harangue and proselytise . They are the prophets , mostly of doom , of avenue A .

They have preached tirelessly monitory tales of financial collapse , end-of-times , space alien conquest , collision with asteroids from space , 2012 , take-over of the country by evil corporations and the the evil designs of the Federal reserve bank among other things .

A couple of days ago "Grail " burst into Ray's screaming that he had warned us and that we had laughed at him . He had been right he exclaimed and now it was his time to laugh ; our world was collapsing right before our eyes and we would all suffer the consequences of that collapse . He had warned us of the Federal Reserve , the world financial elite , Wall street and how they would bring about the end of the world as we know it to gain absolute control of the nations of the world .

He is camera-shy , as most of his kind , and often prefers the shadows of avenue A from which to jubilantly shout to us " I told you so ; I was right " .
